LMAO, considering big business is buying up homes literally for this purpose, I'll take what he's saying with a grain of salt.

Does that mean we should over extend on buying a house that's outside of our means? Absolutely not, but at the same time, housing is still way overpriced and since shit is barely regulated, both from a seller and a purchasers standpoint, there's a lot of regular people getting stuck with a lot of shitty options for living situations.

I'm sorry but that Principal is an absolute cunt. She was targeting that kid, regardless if he did or didn't do anything wrong...

Fuck it. I'll just say this instead. It's time to break up the tech monopolies. Google, Microsoft, etc.

We've replaced Kotick with Microsoft lol

These ad block users should be considered the cost of doing business and they should be careful with targeting them.

This kind of thing springs users into action to either find or use work arounds or create a alternative platform.

So it worked when Trump was elected, but now it doesn't... how are these people on TV?

I told everyone that once contracts for cell phones were replaced with payment plans, companies would start gouging their customers with higher phone prices because the customers could now "afford" it.

Greedy ain't the right word imo.

What they meant to say was "We didn't have the foresight to monetize these heavy users, so we will be doing that now. But first we'll create the problem..."

Hindsight is 2020 and all, but I did always feel like something was a bit off with his demeanor (Linus). First I thought it was just his camera voice/personality, but now I'm thinking it's just him turned up (or down) a notch...

This is also why most jobs should be unionized

One thing I didn't like from Reddit, the elitism and gatekeeping posts from its users. OP, I'm right there with you.

I think there's a bit of misconstruing "let companies do what they want" with "private businesses can run their business how they want but could and should suffer the consequences of their actions".

The main problem here is, who's going to govern the businesses? Who's got the teeth to throw the book at these companies like they're so eager to do at people that break stupid, societal made up laws like "weed is baaaaad. Grrrr"
